Free Will or an illusion and how this makes us feel. I think we confuse "wide range of choices" with free will. Humans are very complicated, and a lot of tiny factors may decide whether we have pancakes and eggs vs cereal in the morning, but it doesn't make us "free". A cockroach doesn't has any more "free-will" today than it did yesterday simply because today it were given the option to pick and choose anything it wanted from the menu at a restaurant.
